Week 6 - Mannequin Coin Pickup

This is my attempt at the coin pickup animation using the mannequin rig. My animation involves the mannequin attempting to pick up a coin on a really windy day. Its pickup attempt results in the mannequin being blown away after struggling against the strong wind. This animation didn't work out too well as some of the timing and anticipation of actions was off. These problems threw a large amount of the animation out of balance and left it looking very unnatural and stiff. As the mannequin approaches the coin it's supposed to look as though it's struggling to get to the coin in the wind. I think the audience can pick up on this, but the movement still looks really stale and lacks any real feeling of struggle due to stiff and poorly timed movements. The final sequence of the animation, in which the mannequin picks up the coin only to drop it as he is blown away by the storm, would have worked well if i had timed it better. It is completely out of time with the rest of the animation and so its seems the animation suddenly goes into a slow motion sequence, which isn't what I had aimed for. My animation of this part of the sequence was, in my opinion, done reasonably well, I just needed to pay closer attention to its timing with the preceding events of the animation.
Overall, this wasn't the best attempt at the animation I had planned out in my head. Although, it probably wouldn't take too much to go back and fix up the pile of small problems riddled throughout it.
